The open space at the village entrance has become a paradise for children to play.
Every night this place is bustling with excitement, children of all ages running around and playing.
The older kids gather to tell stories and jokes, bursts of laughter echoing now and then. The younger ones are playing the freeze tag game.
Although summer nights are hot, the place is broad and catches the wind, so it's not too stifling.
After nine o'clock, the heat gradually fades, and the kids need to head home for a rest.
One group after another leaves, and the last ones to leave are the He siblings and Ning Chenguang.
He Yueyue is still enjoying herself and reluctant to go, but He Mu keeps urging: "Come on, let's go! It's so late, it's time to go home. You don't have to go to class tomorrow, but I do!"
"Alright then..."
The three of them stroll home leisurely, and when they pass by Zhao Ergou's house, they see a shadow moving stealthily.
